Seminar plans

By: Ariel L. Ramirez Jr.

Preface

The ideas featured here are not to

be considered concrete and final. This is just an organization of

recommendations to ensure the success of our endeavour. It may also

serve as inspiration for other ideas but I would rather that these plans

would be used as a last resort or if there are no better ideas or plans

available. This is a series of contingents for every possible scenario that I

can think of. I do not want to hamper or deny my classmates the freedom ofcreativity but nevertheless I would just like to express my own. Thus, I

would like to request utmost confidentiality so that our team can have

freedom to explore other possibilities and also prevent unwanted parties

from stealing and using these plans for their own ends.

Introduction

I, and thus we, have had our own share of seminars attended, and

have been disappointed numerous times at how ill prepared the facilitators

were in said seminars. We have all observed that this ill preparation has led

to the gradual decrease of attendees as time goes by, mainly because of

boredom and disinterest. To address and thus prevent this, I have

concluded that we need to give a whole experience to all of the

participants. By whole I meant that participants are forced to remain on

their seats because of curiosity and wonder of what we have in store for

them. This would involve stimulating as many senses as we can in an

entertaining but informative manner to ensure that participants has learned

what they were told to expect to learn.

Budget

Before anything else, first we must deal with the question of budget.Any successful event would not be possible without some form of budget.

Also proper budget allocation is key because no matter how high the

budget, if not properly or wisely dispensed would be useless.

Php 10K or less in the event that we would have virtually zero

budget, a good seminar would still be possible though very

difficult. The most difficult part would be finding a speaker. We

could present to the speaker that our seminar would be a very

good opportunity to be known. That would ensure that at least s/he

would try his best performance. Thus, I recommend finding people

with high goals but have not been able to achieve it due to lack of

fame. Php 10K would be my recommended absolute maximum

that we would pay for the speaker if we have the budget. Anymore

would be a waste of resources that we could use on other things.

The hardware needed such as laptops and costumes would have

to be provided by the class. The only things that we would

absolutely need to have a budget for are, the pay for the venue,

the printing of certificates, and the tarpaulin, and the rent for the

projector. As much as possible use and reuse materials. The class

could donate extra materials and as such, it is only a matter of

creativity whether the materials would be put to good use. No light

effects if there are none available that is free.


5/41

5 | P a g e

Php 10K to 20Kconsidering the relative freedom of budget after

those costs above have already been deducted, we should focus

on improving the effects and design. We would now be able to

afford more ambitious designs such as multiple tarpaulins in and

outside of the hall. We could buy or rent several but cheap light

fixtures such as black light, and LED light modulators to span the

walls of the hall. We could now buy Neon cartolina for the use of

some props. And also, if wished, uniform costumes.

Php 20K to 30Kafter all the priorities as stated above has been

considered and allocated budget we would be able to explore

other possibilities to enhance the program. I recommend adding

lighting effects and enhanced sound through speaker balancing

and additions. The optimizations of such would create the desired

atmosphere. Also a fog maker could be added though it is highly

optional (only to be used to enhance a lightning storm effect as the

lights would provide the visual effect of rain). It would be highly

recommended however to search and acquire a high quality

projector, that has enough power to be installed at the back of the

hall without the picture loosing focus.

Php 30K to 40K after all of the above has been accomplished

without incident (loss of money, wrong purchase, etc.) we could

now consider possibilities in terms of enhancing the operation and

the execution of the seminar. It is recommended to have a proper

means of communication to ensure the smooth execution of the


6/41

6 | P a g e

program. With a minimum of six (one for each of the two MCs,

one for each of the two technicians, and one for each of the

leaders of the two main groups, look for the Production

Assignments section for information for these,) could have mobile

phones that has the earphones with the microphone feature. They

would be given budget for load for these phones. These phones

would all be borrowed if needed, not bought. We could also now

implement a raffle of which prizes would be given to lucky

attendees as they are drawn from a pool of entries. We could also

ask, and pay if needed, for professional help in executing effects

or whatever needs maybe.

Php 40K or above a 40K budget could be achieved if everyone

in class would donate 1K each though it is highly NOT

recommended as we could probably reach that amount through

multiple sponsors. After everything discussed thus far has been

carefully scrutinized and accomplished and yet, we still have

money left then we could consider some enhancements (after

deliberation) that would greatly beautify the program. One of which

maybe renting one or two high quality cameras capable of live

stream, and a projector for a mini-screen to be situated beside the

main screen (this is where the footage from the cameras would be

shown). These cameras would be used similar to concerts in

which a close up of the stage would be possible in order for those

at the back to see well. If there are two cameras then the other

would be roaming around the hall, shooting at anything that maybe

of interest (ex: students asking questions, etc.). Though the


7/41

7 | P a g e

regulation for the use of the Claro M. Recto hall states that food is

prohibited inside, I have observed multiple instances in which food

had been distributed and such, we may also consider this

possibility. And lastly, according to the regulations, the air-

conditioning system would only be turned on 30 minutes prior to

the program, as I understand it. We may be able to find a way to

have it turned on for the duration of the program, though it will

probably involve more pay.

Acquisition

Once a budget range is chosen from above, the acquisition of such a

budget be would needed to be discussed. As much as possible if any of the

needed materials could be otherwise acquired free, please do so. For

example, there is no need to buy new paint or any colouring materials as it

may be acquired free through unused paints and colours of classmates at

home are even maybe from acquaintances. If it really cant be avoided to

buy such stuff then the most minimum priced items could be bought since

we do not expect to use any of these items frequently since we only need

for them to last the seminar. By being as thrifty as possible we would be

able to stretch our budget and spend on things that would really make a

difference in making or breaking the seminar.

Frequently it has been said that we have the option of acquiring

sponsors for our budget though it may be more difficult done than said. I

suggest searching and asking all viable contacts of companies that may be

able to help us. We must first gather as much information on how many


8/41

8 | P a g e

potential sponsors we can get. From there we may estimate the value that

we would ask from them. The smaller the value asked, the better as it

would increase the likelihood of it being approved. We may be able to find

one company that would grant us all of our expenses, or 4-5 that would

give smaller amounts. It all depends on who and how we ask. Thus, I

suggest assigning this task to the most persuasive people in the class, able

to get the best deals with the least of amount of liabilities. If in the event we

would not be able to find any sponsors at all, everyone in the class would

have to donate a range of 200 1000 pesos each, depending on the

budget size chosen.


9/41

9 | P a g e

Production Assignments

I believe that tasks should be given to those who would be able to dothem the best. However, I also appreciate the virtue of distributing

responsibilities so no one would be either over or under burdened. Though

there will always be some people who would work harder than others, it

does not mean that they would be able to contribute less for the success of

the seminar.

Picking officers is entirely up to you as the assignments I would giveare task oriented, not organizational.

Technical Crew

These people are in charge of all electrical hardware and software

needed. Composed of at least two people, they would be picked based onthe extent of technical knowledge they have from lights and sounds, to

music and video editing.

Production tasks

Pre They would be in charge of taking, editing, or recording of

any video, picture, or sound if needed. They would make sure and

find the needed hardware and their maintenance.

On They would oversee and coordinate the execution of lights

and sounds and other controls that would be needed.


10/41

10 | P a g e

Masters of Ceremony (MCs)

Obviously these people would ensure the smooth flow of the seminar.

However, they would not be reduced to just talking on the day of the

seminar, but would also handle all of the paperwork needed, the constant

contact of other parties that would be interested and/or is relevant to the

seminar, the selling of the seminar to acquire participants, and all or most

of the tasks that would involve public relations. Composed of two people

(but helpers may be included) these persons should be picked based on

effectiveness in public relations and management.

Production tasks

Preas stated above, they would generally ensure that everyone

that could help or should be present would BE present.

On as per their title, they would conduct the program and be

entertainment for guests.

Props and Design Staff

These people would be responsible for making and/or acquiring any

and all of the required props and/or costumes. They would also serve as

assistance in any way if needed to the Technical Crew. Composed of 20+/-

people (about half of the class left after picking the Technical and the MC),

they would be chosen for their inclination if they would rather chose

creativity than other talents.


11/41

11 | P a g e

Production tasks

Preas stated, would make and/or acquire the necessary props,

plus help the Technical Crew when required.

On would serve as Ushers as well as perform for the Pseudo

Orchestra (to be discussed in the section of the same title).

Performance Team

Those who would most prefer to either dance or sing would be

included in this team. They would plan and practice their respective song or

dance numbers for the seminar. The team will be composed of the rest of

the students who did not become part of any on the previous teams.

Production tasks

Pre practice and prepare needed costumes for their song or

dance numbers and provide assistance to the MCs if requested.

Onperform their numbers and also as additional Ushers.

Program Proper

While waiting for the official start of the program, participants may beentertained by videos or music. I also have a collection of inspirational

videos called Pass It On if so preferred. An announcer may periodically

notify participants how many minutes are there remaining before the start

of the program.

IV. Opening Remarks

Well theres really nothing to add here except maybe some

introductory music while they go upstairs.

V. Acknowledgement of Speaker/s

Same as V.

VI. Speaker Presentation I

The speaker should be well informed on what our chosen topic

would be. We may plan the seminar in conjunction with the

speaker so s/he will know exactly what to expect and we will have

the opportunity to improve the presentation or construction of the

power point presentation.

VII. Intermission Number

I recommend a dance number for this. I have pre-stated that the

Performance Team could also act as Ushers. I have observed

that, ushers tend to be just designs at the sides of the hall. I am

confident with the intelligence of the potential participants, so they

do not need any guidance regarding the seminar except for the

seating at the start. My intention is to have the ushers, as they are

distributed throughout the hall, would join and be part of the dance

troupe. There would be a starting group, as usual, on the stage. I


15/41

15 | P a g e

suggest the dance moves to be easy and catchy so when the

ushers join, it would seem spontaneous. Also, it would strongly

urge the participants to dance along even if no one told them to.

When a chosen part of the song comes, the ushers would formally

join the starting group. They could choose to remain in their

positions along the hall or include it in the sequence that they will

approach the centre aisle or the stage to join the others.

VIII. Speaker Presentation II

The same as VII.

IX. Q and A Portion

Pieces of paper will be given at the start of the seminar with the

instruction that it will be used for notes or asking questions to the

speaker later. Rewards could be given to those who are brave

enough to ask their own questions to the microphone.

X. Presentation of Certificates

Good background music is all that is needed for this. The

distribution of the participants certificates can be done in

conjunction of that of the speakers.

XI. Giving of Prizes (Optional)


16/41

16 | P a g e

This is when the raffle will be drawn. Ping-Pong balls with print are

to be distributed to classes to serve as their invitations. The balls

would have the participants name and then collected at the

entrance to the hall. The balls would then be put into a rotating

drum and the drawn participant would be called to collect his/her

prize. For a full treatment of this topic, go to the Raffle heading.

XII. PUP Hymn

Similar to the above but I have ideas for this one, though not

recommended because it is time consuming and may invoke bad

feedback but it is very rewarding if executed properly.

This could involve a music video in where, a camera, starting at

the gate of the main entrance of PUP would enter at the start of

the music. The lyrics of the song would then be shown by students

holding Manila paper (or whatever piece of paper with a large font

so it is easy to see) containing verses of the song. Then the

camera would pan down to more verses on the road then so on

and so forth. The verses would be presented in easy to read but

unexpected places throughout the song. For a complete

explanation, go to the Video Screenplay topic heading.

XIII. Closing Number

I want the class to be creative but if there are no prevailing ideas

as to what they would want to do in the closing number, then I

suggest this. As the majority of the class is female, I would expect


17/41

17 | P a g e

that the performance team would also be composed of mostly, if

not all, by females. A simple song would be Unwritten by Natasha

Beddingfield. The only instruments that a live band would need

are a beat box, and an acoustic guitar with an optional though

unnecessary accompaniment of an electric organ. The voice range

of the song is similar to that of the class. Of course there would be

a lead and support singers and the rest can join in as a choir at the

later part of the song.


18/41

Hall Preparations

Depending on the budget size chosen, hall preparations may beextensive or simple. The PUP Guidelines for the use of the hall allows for

rehearsals which, we must use to the fullest. I will assume that we have a

reasonable budget size so I will state possibilities. These possibilities are

just that, possibilities. It is up to you whether they should be executed or

not. I have observed that some of the light fixtures in the hall are not

functioning. Though most of the seminar proper would be executed in

darkness, it may be advantageous to fix or replace the lights for dance

sequences and such, and attach, if there are none, black lights at the stage

skirt. I am not familiar how the speaker system in the hall is connected or

operated, so we should have to check and familiarize ourselves with them.

If we would be able to acquire a high powered projector, one that could

project images without losing focus even though it would be situated at the

back of the hall, we would have to have a raised platform where it will be

put.

If our budget allows, and we are able to acquire a live stream camera,

we could set up a raised platform at the side of the hall (refer to Appendix A

for the floor plan) It would also then require the raising of a white screen at

the side of the stage so a secondary projector, that would show what the

camera is seeing. All along the side wall of the hall, arrays of LEDs can be

hung. These arrays are grids of wire onto which the LED lights will be

attached. These will be constructed beforehand and made in such a way

that it only takes a few minutes to hang it on a wall and attach its wiring.


19/41

19 | P a g e

Refer to Props Construction for a full treatment. In terms of designing the

hall, I can only suggest that you use, if possible, as much glow in the dark

materials as much as possible covering most of the hall and use bright

coloured materials for some of the stage props and designs so it will glow

in the black light.


20/41

20 | P a g e

Props Construction

I will discuss my suggested props and everything here after in terms ofpracticality like Cost, estimated time of construction/production (ETA), and

Effort required, versus its benefits. Then after which, I will discuss how I

think it should be made.

A. LED fixtures

Practicality

CostI am not

exactly sure

how much it

will cost but I

have seen

these lights or

more

accurately Light Modulators used for design in Jeepneys so I

assume that they would not cost very much, including the wiring

and other materials I estimate that the cost to buy around 50 units

of lights would be around 50-100 pesos, pessimistically though

probably it will cost less.

ETAIf a grid would contain 50 units, the construction of one grid

would probably take one person 30 minutes. I estimate that it


21/41


22/41

22 | P a g e

of strong wire mesh, or cartons with hooks on top. The LED units

would be placed on the grids on long vertical columns which could be

3 16-unit columns (the other two could be placed one on each end) or

2 25-unit columns, etc.., depending on how big the individual lights

are and/or how intense a light they could give off.

Multiple grids could be done, and if we have enough time and we

are feeling ambitious, we could wire the LEDs separately so they

would react to a different pitch of music, OR if we could find someone

with the technical knowhow, project images like a very large screen

that would go along the music. There are companies selling full

arrays of these but we need to compare which method would be

more cost effective first before we consider buying readymade arrays.

My method would be (if we cant find any help), to have the grids

have separate jocks and exploit the 5.1 capabilities of a desktop

computer. The grids would be divided into groups of 5 (a jock for

each group) with equal distribution (meaning they would not be

bunched together in the hall) and attached to the computer.

If we are not able to bring a desktop computer then multiple MP3

players could be used. Each grid would have its own jock and MP3

player so the grids would be independent of each other. However,

this would involve a tedious task of cutting and pasting sections of

music (while still remaining in sync) so that a particular grid for

example, would only react to the parts of the song that would involve

percussion instruments and so on. The edited songs would be

distributed to the MP3 players then each grid would be stationed and


23/41

23 | P a g e

a synchronized queue used so that the MP3s would play their given

edited songs at the same time. The jocks could also be extended to a

central command point in which a few people can play the song on

multiple devices.

The colours of the lights should preferably be the same to avoid

confusion except for the percussion specialized grids which, in my

opinion, should be made red for added drama like the low tone of a

beating heart would be given more life because of the colour. The

general colour of the others would preferably be white or light blue as

to not hurt the eyes and to accentuate special effects like rain and

lightning.

I suggest placing the percussion lights nearest the stage if not

next to, or even bordering it (the best place I think would be to put in

on the long vertical speakers facing diagonally on the sides of the

stage) so it would be more noticeable (refer to Floor plan Additions

for the diagram).

B. Gyroscope

Though not in any way an integral part of

my plans, it would provide dynamism on the

stage that could potentially get boring as the

seminar goes on.

Practicality


24/41

24 | P a g e

Cost The cost of constructing one that is about 5 feet tall

depends largely on the materials used. It could range from wood,

to iron, to plastic or even paper supported with wire or bamboo.

The important thing is that it should move continually throughout

the seminar through the use of motors, or strings, or magnets, or

rubber bands.

ETA a three man team may be able to finish it in a couple of

days given the available materials.

Effort it would probably require a large amount of effort as a lot

of thing should be considered, like balance and maintaining

movement.

Benefits

The only benefit it would bring is that it is a mobile and dynamic stage

design that does away with the boring Christmas lights and paper Mache

structures. It moves and lasers can also be attached so that the beams

dance around the hall.

Construction

I am not handy enough to dream up how to make such a complicatedmachine though I have some ideas.


25/41

25 | P a g e

C. Orchestra Instruments

Cost not considering buying wholesale, one instrument piece

would probably cost utmost 50 pesos to make.

ETA making the whole ensemble would take about a week to

make if most of the Props and Design team pitch in the work.

Effort as it would only require cartons and some wood,

construction shouldnt be too hard.

Benefits


26/41

26 | P a g e

These instruments would be used for the Pseudo Orchestra part of the

seminar. They would be invaluable additions to make the seminar a

success.

Construction

The instrument would be made of cartons, and wood struts for support.

The cartons need only take the general shape of the instrument that it

seeks to copy so it does not need much effort and precision to make. They

would then be painted black and the corners would be either painted with

or glued with bright coloured paper. This is for the black light so that people

can see the instruments clearly without actually showing that they are not.

The instruments to be made would be 10-15 violins, with bows, a

grand piano, and a pair of maracas. If there is an instrument anyone hears

in the music that is not already listed here, add it please. The extra bright

coloured materials left over would then be used for making the costumes of

the players. They would be similarly coloured with black clothes mostly,

accentuated by brightly coloured masks or gloves and other additions to

the clothing.


27/41

27 | P a g e

Pseudo Orchestra

Concept

In this day and age where music is so easy to come by, and listened toin any part of the day, it surprises me that concerts still make a large impact

on the music industry. It stumps me to think that people would pay

hundreds to hear the songs that they could otherwise hear for free. No, this

is not a research of this phenomenon but I only like to stress the

significance of the concept. If not for seeing their favourite artists, people

go to concerts not for the music, but for witnessing the talented, play their

favourite songs right in front of their very eyes. It is akin to a miracle, in this

day and age, where it can be hard to know what is real and what is fake; to

see and to hear with your own senses how these works of art are made.

To take advantage of this, I propose having a Pseudo Orchestra to

play along with the music. Why not a pseudo band you ask? In my opinion,

the genre of music that could capture emotions the best without the need of

lyrics or prose but only through the pitch and hymns of its instruments is the

classical genre. This however poses another problem. In my opinion, the

generation gap between the classical era and today is too large that people

can find classical music too slow and boring. So, as a compromise, I have

found an emerging genre called trailer music, which is not too slow and yet

captures the imagination and thus, the emotions of its listeners. Also called

epic music (given by its listeners for the epic-like emotions and images

that they experience during listening to them), trailer music are made by

companies for sound tracks and trailers (hence the name) for Hollywood

movies. One of the most successful of these companies is Two Steps From


28/41

28 | P a g e

Hell (TSFH) which has made music used in movies like Lord of the Rings

and Narnia.

I have listened to most of their sound tracks and one of the best (based

on my judgement) that we could use is a sound track called Promise by

Thomas Bergesen, one of the founders of TSFH. This song needs no less

that an orchestra to play. I know my classmates have limited talents with

regards to musical instruments, which is why I propose that we use what I

like to call, a pseudo orchestra.

Execution

The Pseudo Orchestra would involve people to act like they are playing

real instruments in accordance with the music. This, if done successfully,

would create the same impact on people as the concert phenomenon as I

have stated before, without requiring too much effort. To make the

deception, I propose that the orchestra would be seen through black light.

The orchestra could wear bright coloured clothes like gloves or masks but

not too much so that most of their clothing and thus, their movements,

would be masked by darkness. They would be using instruments made of

hard carton or cardboard that is painted black except for the edges which

are painted bright colours. The orchestra would only need to practice up to

the point where they could convince the audience that they themselves are

producing the music, even though they are not. In addition so that he

audience would not focus too much on the orchestra, a music video would

be playing, depicting scenes in accordance to the emotions portrayed by

the music (we will discuss this fully in a few moments) and also, the LED

lights along the sides of the hall will dance to the musicas well. If what I


29/41

29 | P a g e

imagine is correct, the whole experience would be overwhelming,

emotional, and powerful.

Preparation

The orchestra would be composed of 10-15 violinists, a pianist,

drummer, pair of maracas, a guitar, and a conductor costume set. For the

construction refer to Props Construction. The Orchestra needs only to

practice enough so that the audience would be convinced that the music

comes from them, and not from a pre-recording. The actions of the

individual players need to be in sync with the music. It would help if they

would learn a small amount about how to play their instruments and watch

videos on how to mimic the proper movements. When this is done, the

players would only have to synchronize their actions as of a real orchestra.

My estimation of such practice would only take about 1-2 weeks.


30/41

30 | P a g e

Video Screenplay

A number of videos (mostly music videos) would have to be made to

fully take advantage of the lights and sounds effects discussed before. All

of these are optional of course but would be of great effect if made.

A. Trailer

I have seen at least 2 seminars where they have made a form of

trailer that played before the seminar proper. Some served asadvertisements for the companies that sponsored their seminars,

while other were just title sequences. There is nothing wrong with

their trailers ad at least one of them impressed me but I think they

could have done more. Since this is a trailer then it is fitting that we

use trailer music as I have discussed before. I recommend No

Surrender by Serge Colbert of Fifth Floor Music. It is powerful and

would build up excitement of what we have in store for them.

The first part would be a title sequence with intermittent scenes

from the documentation that would be done, then a short sequence

where the logos of the sponsors would be shown, and then more

scenes from the documentation.


31/41


32/41

32 | P a g e

In imagining the scenes I have been careful not to make the

video as if to say You will learn a lot in this seminar. Though not a

bad message, it puts pressure on the speaker. I hope to just stress

the importance of knowing coaching and how it could help others.

I imagine the video composing of three storylines. These three

have many parallels and the audience could easily understand what

is happening in one and the others. I have chosen the sequences to

be first, what I would call the Lover, involving a broken hearted man

coached to not give up on love, second, is the Runner where a sad

female aspirant has been coached by the runners coach, and finally,

the worker where an unemployed man has been coached by his

friend. They would come in that particular cycle during the video,

changing every few seconds to stress the parallels of each story.

I have made it so that each scene would more faithfully depict the

emotions of the music that if only one storyline is used.

The start of the music is slow and very faint. In this sequence

primarily dominated by first the piano and then the lead violin, we

would show the Lover approaching a girl to give her a flower. The girl

however doesnt take the flower and the man is shown to be

saddened by looking down on the floor and accentuated with thunder

and rain.

The scene transitions to the Runner, also looking down from the

bleachers of a court onto runners practising their rounds. The

runnerscoach notices the girl, and then starts to approach her.


33/41

33 | P a g e

When the female lead of the song starts to sing, the scene will

then transition to a man also approaching a down person (the

Worker) on the side of the road. The man opts to ask what is the

problem (I used the word optsbecause there will be no dialogue the

whole video so the acting should be enough so audience could still

surmise what is being said). The Worker then expresses his anger of

not being able to find a job then sits down again.

The music would then now reach the point where the theme

changes from gloom to encouragement, again starting with the piano,

now in a higher pitch, then the violin accompanied by the main violin

group. The Worker scene ends with the approaching friend putting his

arm on the workers shoulder with slight taps, sending the message

Its okay.

The scene then transitions back to the Lover who is now telling a

friend his problems. The lead female singer of the music dominates at

this point. The exchange between the friend and the Lover should be

in sync with the female lead. There comes a point in this where the

female lead sings a middle note then a high note. At this point, the

video will show the friend pointing to a girl. As the Lover looks, she

smiles, but the Lover shakes his head as if to say No, I cant to the

friend. This will be in sync with the female lead now singing a lower

note as if to send the same message. She then repeats the middle

then high note sequence as before. Also as before, the friend will

point again at the girl, and then when the Lover looks, she waves


34/41

34 | P a g e

enthusiastically. The female lead will then sing notes of increasing

pitch which would send a message of encouragement and the friend

will also action the same message and then the Lover proceeds to

stand and face the girl.

This is when the main body of the song will start to play, marked

by a sudden increase in audio saturation. At this point the video will

transition back to the Runner who has also started to stand and run,

with the coach at the side holding a timer. The weather will rapidly

transition from sunny, to rain, and then night to keep up with the

increase of tempo in the music and also show that the runner had

been practising for a long time. The scene ends with the coach

observing that the runner is very tired and has stopped to sit and rest.

Then the scene transitions to the friend of the Worker who is now

observing him seemingly very tired at a table full of books on what

appears to be a library. As the friend approaches the Worker, the

Worker stand up as if to say I quit. And then leaves. The friend is

then left alone then he sat on a chair.

The next scene transition would then show the Lovers friend

also sitting. The Lover then approaches and sits on a chair opposite

his friend looking sad and devastated. The friend smiles and then

reaches to tap his shoulder.

However, before he is able to reach him, the scene transitions to

the Runners coach reaching to tap the shoulder of a stranger. The

coach is trying to gain a better view from the back of a crowd at the

side of a racing track. The camera pans to show the crowd and the

streamers in what appears to be a race finish line as the first of the

runners passes through. The coach still looks for the Runner but

cannot find her. As the last of the contestants approach, he spots the

Runner at the back looking very tired. The camera closes up on her

looking tired and on the verge of tears. She crosses the finish line

when most of the crowd has already dispersed, and then kneels and

cries. The camera is up close on the Runner then shows the coachs

shoes step into view. As the music picks up, the Runner looks around

confused to see that people are applauding her and the coach has

reached his hand to help her up. Some of the other contestants also

approach and gave her a hug as she stood. The Runner cried happy

tears.

The scene then transitions to the Worker who has approached

his friend also crying after another job interview failure. The friend

hugs him for assurance and acts to encourage the Worker while they

leave a business building. Then they seem to hear someone

approaching and they look back to see a man with papers ask for the

Workers and then acts while smiling as if to say He is hired!. The

music picks up again at this point as the Worker celebrates and then

runs outside the building to hug someone (it may be assumed that it

is the Workers girlfriend. The scene ends with the friend looking on

smiling.

The scene transitions to the Lovers friend looking on as the

Lover has a girl in his arms and walks away. The friend then notices a

piece of paper on where the Lover has sat and opens it to reveal a

very large written Thank You! The friend smiles the then turns when

he heard something. It was someone crying. The friend sits down and

smiles and the scene ends. The screen will then show a message

(implying that it was spoken by the friend) What do you need? Then

the screen will show the title of the seminar Coaching.

D. PUP Hymn

Since the PUP hymn will be shown near the end of the seminar,

we can risk not doing anything creative about it. But, if so desired, we

can make a music video if we have enough time and resources to do

so.

My idea involves a moving camera that would go through the

PUP campus as it pans to show the lyrics of the song on people, the

road, the pylon, and so on.

My idea is that it would start at the gate as it opens. Then it will

proceed to the Pylon and around it, then to the Dome, then up the

Dome to the second floor, then to the side balcony overlooking the

chapel.

Considering the speed that the song is sung, the camera would

have to travel relatively fast and yet, smooth enough for the words

Raffle

This is the most highly optional out of all my suggestions. It would

however ensure that most, if not all of the participants would stay until the

end of the seminar.

It would involve the distribution through RTR ping pong balls with a

glued printed design. The participants would then fill up their names on the

balls which would be collected before entering the hall. They would also

have name bands with their names given at the entrance. These bands

would be needed at the draw to make sure that the participants are who

they say they are. The name bands would be inspected for any sign of

tampering to prevent participants switching name bands. The participants

would have to approach the stage in person to claim their prizes.

The draw itself would be accomplished by gathering all of the ping

pong balls into a rotating drum and drawn randomly.
